Saab 9-7X stalling problems

Filed Apr 10, 2017 · Fuel system · 140,000 miles · TX

Fuel gauge stopped reporting actual level of fuel in the tank about 2 years ago. Guage remains pointed at 1/4 full tank level at all times. Forced to keep track of fuel level by resetting the milage tracker at each tank fill-up. When miles reach around 250 its time to find a gas station to fill up again. Have run out of gas 5-10 times in the last 2 years. Several of the sudden "out-of-gas" events were also false. Vehicle had gas, but engine stalled as though it had run out of gas. Car was pulled to the side of interstate and coasted to nearby gas station.

Low beam headlamps and daytime running lamps intermittently fail to illuminate, both in auto as well as manual mode. Lights fail to illuminate on start-up as well as shut off unexpectedly while driving. This is the same issue stated in the recall for 2006-2008 saab 9-7x, but inexplicably the 2009 model is not covered under this recall. This vehicle malfunction is hazardous and poses a threat to the safety of others on the road. The driver's view of the road is completely and unexpectedly impaired when the lights shut off while in motion as well as lowered visibility of the vehicle to others on the road.

After I had just filled up the gas light came on and went to empty. It bounced around for a couple of weeks, and then stayed on empty. I was told this is a gm defect. I travel 5 days a week for work, and I'm concerned this could cause my vehicle to stall, as I've heard happening to others. I have to remember to refuel every 300 miles. This is a gm defect, therefore, gm should be fixing this problem!

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 saab 9-7x. After refueling the vehicle, the contact noticed that the fuel warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The fuel gauge would fluctuate, causing inaccurate readings of fuel levels. The contact was unable to determine how much fuel was in the vehicle and as a result, the vehicle stalled and had to be towed. The vehicle was not repaired. There was an investigation under the federal safety agency action number: pe11014 (fuel system, other fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system) that may be related to the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.
